What do you like best about your major?
I love that it converges both computer science and media; the technical and the personal. As someone who doesn't want a 9-to-5 programming job, Computational Media is my outlet for getting to explore both the computational and back-end aspects of technology but also the digital media and human interaction part of technology. It is a unique major and thus provides a unique experience and unparalleled opportunities offered by both the Ivan Allen College and the College of Computing.
What do you love about liberal arts at Georgia Tech?
I love that liberal arts has such a wide variety at a school as technical as Georgia Tech spanning everything from foreign languages to economics. Getting to explore liberal arts through the lens of technology has been an irreplaceable experience as we get to dive deep into the effects of Artificial Intelligence on these liberal arts fields but also doing hands-on work independent of technology.

What do you like best about your major?
I love what a unique opportunity Computational Media is! I love how creative and expressive I can be, combining art with the digital world. It strongly places an emphasis on both the arts and technology, which really does ensure that we get the best of both worlds!
What do you love about liberal arts at Georgia Tech?
I like that liberal arts programs at a Tech school ensure that students can garner different approaches to many different challenges. Being at a Tech school, of course students obtain a technical foundation and knowledge, but liberal arts in particular really makes students stand out because we learn unique perspectives to attacking social or institutional issues.
